Originally named Sek-kháu Sanatorium (錫口養生院), after the old name for the area, it was established in 1914 as the first institution dedicated to treating tuberculosis. Taiwanese novelist Chung Li-ho (鍾理和) was a patient here from 1947 to 1950. After failing to pass an official review for heritage status the last remnants were demolished in 2019, leaving only some old wooden residences in the area.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
